Why is there an error when I restart my Rstudio after updating rmarkdown package?

Question

After installing package "rmarkdown", if I close Rstudio without closing each opened tab, and then restart Rstudio again, this error message will appear:

Error in .rs.parsePackageDependencies(contents, extension) : 
  object 'partition_yaml_front_matter' not found
Error in .rs.parsePackageDependencies(contents, extension) : 
  object 'partition_yaml_front_matter' not found

It appeared twice since I have three tab opened before I close Rstudio, so when I restart Rstudio again, three tab will open automatically, but two error like above appear. If I remove package "rmarkdown", the errors will disappear under the same operation. Why?

Answer 1

There is a hot discussion on solutions here. For example, a good idea from kevinushey:

---

You could do something like the following:

options(rstudio.errors.suppressed = FALSE) options(error = recover) and then see if you can get the R debugger to "catch" the error, and introspect a bit more on the call stack / state of the rmarkdown package / other poking at the problem.

---

I second these observations. I also noticed that if you're running a r markdown notebook, it can't generate the .nb.html anymore.

Potential solution: Create a new RStudio project,

Create an R Markdown document and save it,

Create an R Notebook and save it,

Re-open the project. For me, the error only seems to occur if I have two documents open in the session.

i've kept an Rmd file opened while closing rstudio. when i closed the file before closing rstudio and then restarted rstudio, the message disappeared
